The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, has been in touch with his counterparts in Spain and has offered assitance to the Mayor of La Linea, the President of the Mancommunidad and the President of the Junta de Andalucia. 

Gibraltar has offered to take patients into the GHA's ITU and to provide such other assistance as may be required, in particular for the elderly and other vulnerable groups.

The Government understands that La Linea's ITU remains resilient, on generator power.

The Chief Minister, the Hon Fabian Picardo KC MP, said: "Gibraltar remains on standby to assist as the daylight hours come to an end. This is a time for human solidarity and I have no doubt that many fellow Gibraltarians will be reaching out to friends, family and colleagues in Spain."
